Historic Glenwood Cemetery, located at 2525 Washington Ave, Houston, TX 77007, was founded in 1871 and was planned as a garden cemetery in the manner of beautifully landscaped cemeteries in Europe. Its rolling hills have allowed for the creation of unique monuments, mausoleums, fountains, and winding pathways. Notable monuments include those of the Dunn and Priester families, victims of AIDS, and the sculpture known as the Angel of Grief. We’ll visit the cemetery from 8-9:30 a.m., and then meet up at nearby Urban Eats (3414 Washington Ave) to write and talk about our writing inspirations from the Cemetery.
Accessibility: The Cemetery has ample parking at the front entrance as well as wide paved paths throughout. Visitors can also park on the Cemetery’s roads as long as they allow enough space for another car to pass. There are no public restrooms available.
